Comment: The first 3 months of this drug definitely helped my RLS, but created nausea and hallucinations (flowers on the curtains jumping off curtains). I stuck it out though. 5 years later I still take the same dose but no longer have side effects. Definitely worth it in the long run.

Comment: I take this for RLS. It is effective but the only problem I have had is that if I take it at bed time I only sleep for about 3 hours. Now I take it at dinner and I am sleeping much better.

Comment: I've had RLS for years and this drug is my life-saver! I've been on it for 2 years and take 0.5 mg 2 hours before bedtime. If I miss a dose the RLS comes right back. No side effects.
